Swear the Financial Statement (Form 4)
You'll need:
- the completed Financial Statement (Form 4)
- all supporting documents
- photo identification such as a
- BC identity card,
- BC Services Card,
- driver's licence, or
- passport.
If the application doesn't involve support, skip this step and go directly to Step 3.
See Complete a Provincial Court Financial Statement (Form 4) for detailed instructions for filling out your financial statement.
Take the completed Form 4 and any supporting documents to a clerk at the court registry to swear or affirm that the information in the documents is true. This is a free service. You can also have a lawyer or notary public swear the affidavit but they'll likely charge a fee. See Who can swear an affidavit? for more on this.
If it's not possible to get to the registry, you can skip this step. The judge will likely get you to swear your Financial Statement at the hearing.
